Thumbs up Parallels is awesome! :D

Check out what I've done with Parallels...I've installed all the OSes I grew up with (besides the MacOS ones because I'd need a PPC/68k emulator for that and that's a seperate project! ) ...screenshots below...

Then again, after looking at the pix, they merely show several versions of Windows (2.0.x through Win2K without NT 4, as far as I can see) in a Parallels window. Nothing really fancy there. Well: The Win 2.0.x is nice. As in "ugly", I mean.

Well, VMWare has been able to do this forever now and they should have a Mac version of VMWare available for Intel Macs only (which sucks, but so be it ). VirtualPC and Q/QEMU can also do this, albeit slowly.

Now, if you ran Windows on Parallels and then in the Windows environment have VMware running Linux and then from within the Linux VM have QEMU running another x86 operating system.....

Well: We don't have to wait for VMware to _finally_ come around, since Parallels has nailed virtualization for the Mac in my opinion. It's been working with various OSs for quite some time now. Good stuff, so I understand hexstar's happiness about it very well. It's just not _news_ anymore exactly.
